Delhi Belly

---

I currently have Delhi belly so not feeling 100% though enjoying the good life as ever! I had my birthday with Swamiji. He arrived a couple of hrs after us into Delhi and stayed two nights at Delhi Ashram. It was very relaxing and such a grand thing to see Swamiji in a somewhat relaxed mood, despite the many preparations still continuing for Kumbh Mela. Swamiji gave the boys their spiritual names. Aiden is Shankar Puri and Cal is Shiv Prem. Swamiji flew this morning to Austria.

Now we are staying at our American friends’ place. It has been a very long time since we met Todd, though glad to see him again and meet his lovely family. The boys are loving playing with their 3yo who is gorgeous and inquisitive and super confidant. They're sleeping in a tent in her room tonight. It's a bit crazy living in a house with servants in Delhi... a world away from a few acres in the rainforest of Kuranda, or the basic amenities of Ashram life!

Had a funny morning at a park. There were some Indian women breaking up a dead tree for firewood. Of course Todd and Mark went over to try and offer some assistance. Any Indian men in sight were clearly not offering any assistance. I’m certain the women do more than half of the work in this country!
